How much?

Well ?

You're question is subjective. What kind of shop? Just hunting rifles and wheel guns and maybe a few semi-auto pistols? Or a full blown firearms big-box store? Depending on the size, inventory alone could be 150k and up.

Pretty tough to answer a question like that. My business is not in California, but here is what I will say. Regardless of what type of business your in, you could start and be very successful for less than 50k or you could spend millions and fail miserably. There are just too many variables, and your question gives no details, so nobody could truly answer it for you.
